A newly disclosed privacy vulnerability in Apple’s Hide My Email feature can reportedly allow an attacker to uncover the real email address behind a generated alias. According to the researcher who found the bug, it was responsibly disclosed to Apple more than a year ago but remains unpatched, and independent testing has verified the issue.

      Wanted to use it but couldn’t sign up bc it didnt know my domain. They sent an automatic email to which I should reply to, but I never got a confirmation. Yes, I replied with the same address I’ve signed up with. That was, however, months ago so I should give it another try.

        I don’t use if with my own domain so I can’t speak for success with that. I’ve used them for a long time for my occasional alias needs, before they renamed from anonaddy iirc.
